  • Foundations for Music-Based Games
    Die approbierte Originalversion dieser Diplom-/Masterarbeit ist an der Hauptbibliothek der Technischen Universität Wien aufgestellt (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at). The approved original version of this diploma or master thesis is available at the main library of the Vienna University of Technology (http://www.ub.tuwien.ac.at/englweb/). MASTERARBEIT Foundations for Music-Based Games Ausgeführt am Institut für Gestaltungs- und Wirkungsforschung der Technischen Universität Wien unter der Anleitung von Ao.Univ.Prof. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Peter Purgathofer und Univ.Ass. Dipl.-Ing. Dr.techn. Martin Pichlmair durch Marc-Oliver Marschner Arndtstrasse 60/5a, A-1120 WIEN 01.02.2008 Abstract The goal of this document is to establish a foundation for the creation of music-based computer and video games. The first part is intended to give an overview of sound in video and computer games. It starts with a summary of the history of game sound, beginning with the arguably first documented game, Tennis for Two, and leading up to current developments in the field. Next I present a short introduction to audio, including descriptions of the basic properties of sound waves, as well as of the special characteristics of digital audio. I continue with a presentation of the possibilities of storing digital audio and a summary of the methods used to play back sound with an emphasis on the recreation of realistic environments and the positioning of sound sources in three dimensional space. The chapter is concluded with an overview of possible categorizations of game audio including a method to differentiate between music-based games.

  • Chiptune Synthesis
    - UFEE63-30-3 - A modern implementation of chiptune synthesis by Philip Phelps (#03974520) Summary A chiptune can be broadly categorised as a piece of music produced by sound chips in home computer/ games systems popular in the 1980s into the 1990s. The synthesis techniques often employed in chiptunes involve the careful control of the hardware features available in the sound chips. Such chips generally featured a limited number of simple oscillators with simple waveforms such as square, triangle, pseudorandom noise, and so on. In order to create more interesting sounds, chiptune composers rely on software synthesis structures that are used to configure the sound chip to alternate between waveforms, and to alter the pitch of the oscillators. MaxMSP is a graphical programming environment developed by Cycling’74. This report documents the reasons behind the decision to choose MaxMSP for the design and implementation of a software synthesiser for the creation of chiptunes. The report presents the detailed research into the sound hardware, and software used for composing chiptunes, exposing the differences in user interface design between modern composition software tools such as MIDI sequencers and historic composition tools such as trackers. Several pieces of historic software are examined; with elements of each user interface being assessed for inclusion in a modern software synthesiser user interface. The report also explains in detail the internal hardware structure of several popular sound chips (such as the General Instruments AY-3-8910) and examines several examples of software structures used to control the hardware synthesis structures inside the chips. The report documents the design of numerous software modules (programmed in the MaxMSP environment) and explains how each module can be combined to form the software synthesiser.

  • Final Report for George Sanger ADAT Project
    Final Report for George Sanger ADAT Project Jeff Crow, Justin Kovar, Susanne Ristow and George Royer Problems in the Permanent Retention of Electronic Records Dr. Patricia Galloway University of Texas at Austin School of Information Spring 2010 Introduction The UT Videogame Archive at The Dolph Briscoe Center for American History seeks to preserve materials related to all aspects of videogame design and production. The Archive has taken possession of materials donated by George Sanger, the creator of music and sound for numerous videogames. Calling himself "The Fat Man," Sanger often collaborated with a group dubbed "Team Fat." One part of the collection is a number of ADAT digital audio tapes with music from the game The 7th Guest, which was developed by the company Trilobyte. It was released for multiple platforms by Virgin Interactive beginning in 1993. The game was one of the first to be released solely on CD-ROM due to the large amount of full motion video included in the game, which was also something new to videogames at that point. The game proved to be successful, winning multiple awards and spawning a sequel, The 11th Hour. As our project for Professor Pat Galloway's class INF 392K "Problems in the Permanent Retention of Electronic Records," we migrated digital audio from ADAT tapes provided by Sanger into WAV format that can preserved long term. This document describes the process undertaken to migrate the recordings in order to provide instructions and insights for posterity. It also details an interview we performed with Sanger, as well as recommendations for the future.
